I actually had this conversation with someone the other day. I don’t think that I fit into any of the traditional high school stereotypes.
My school didn’t really have the traditional stereotypes. I went to a predominantly Jewish school, and the Jewish kids tended to band together. There were the popular, nerdy Jewish kids and the popular, jock Jewish kids, and the really wealthy kids who were not necessarily popular, but they were just assholes to everyone else. (Not that other people weren’t wealthy, that was just the specific trait that seemed to bind that particular group together.) I was the girl with the funky hair color that wore a lot of black, but I was always an excellent student, and I was in the advanced classes with most of the popular kids. I was friends with most people, from every clique. There was a small group of kids who started a rumor about me, but that was the only time I remember being actively made fun of in high school, and it was a small group of people who did it.
I’m not sure where I fell into a category. I dressed like someone that would be labled a “freak” in a typical high school setting, but I was friends with most of the popular kids, I was teacher’s pet in several classes, I spent my after school time with the “druggies” and I always reached out to the kids that didn’t seem to have any friends, or who were often made fun of.
So…. I don’t know.
